I have also been trained to provide
Trauma Focused
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidenced based practice focused on treating the emotional and behavioral symptoms of trauma victims and their families.
I specialize in children, adolescents, adults and families. I have helped clients suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety related disorders, behavioral issues, and grief and loss. My approach is person centered, focused on creating a caring and empathetic therapeutic relationship, while utilizing varied interventions, including psychodynamic, behavioral and cognitive based techniques, family systems theories, and attachment based strategies. In addition to more traditional approaches, I am a strong proponent of creative expressive therapy. Through expressive interventions my clients have learned to develop appropriate self expression of feelings, self confidence, effective coping and conflict resolution strategies, and pro social communication to help foster appropriate peer relations.

Someone might say HOPE is not an Action Plan... But it’s a Start. If you ask me exactly what I do.... I’d say : “I Specialize in putting broken lives back together again.” Are you living the life you want to live right now? Or is stress, anxiety, or grief getting in the way? Are you “in your head” a lot... ruminating about your relationships? work? the future? Are you having trouble getting over the loss of a loved one, job or pet ? If you’ve answered “yes” to any of these, then you are one step closer to your healing. I’d like to help.
